Modern luxury with a rustic finish, surrounded by the finest examples of Western Washington's natural beauty: Welcome to the Cowlitz Manor House on the river! The space ABOUT COWLITZ MANOR HOUSE The Cowlitz River flows from glacial snowcap of Mount Rainier, and over the eons has helped create a lush, beautiful river valley that has drawn travelers for generations. Along its banks near its Rainier headwaters sits Cowlitz Manor House, a modern masterpiece of a luxury vacation home. Built in 2017, no expense was spared to make this home the perfect base for the skiers, hikers, hunters and fishermen that the Rainier wilderness draws year round. You could call this home a cabin but with its expansive interior and views, it certainly deserves to be called a Manor House. By sharing a waterfront park with its neighbors, the home can boast a firepit, log seats and horseshoes as well as access to the river itself, just across the street from the front door and the two car garage. In the garage (aka the game room) you'll find a ping pong table, a foosball table, a TV, a card table, and a couple of couches to relax on, one of which folds out to be a sleeper sofa. The doors can be thrown open to create a lovely indoor/outdoor recreation area with easy access to the riverfront. The home's interior is just as full featured as its exterior: The main room located on the second floor is an open concept kitchen-dining-living room, and spans the length of the property from the large window looking out over the front deck to the river, to the back deck looking up at majestic Butter Butte, an offshoot of Rainier itself. This beautiful room also boasts a sleeper sofa. In addition to the two sleeper sofas, there are two bedrooms, one on the main level with a king-sized bed. And the second is accessed via the garage (aka the game room) and includes a full-over-queen bunk bed and ensuite bathroom. Both decks have comfortable chairs and couches from which to enjoy the views and the front one offers both propane grill and firepit. WHAT GUESTS HAVE TO SAY "Yes there are many cabins in the Packwood area, but not many as grand as the Cowlitz Manor House" - Debbie M. MORE ABOUT COWLITZ MANOR HOUSE Speaking of food, the kitchen is a chef's dream come true. A knotted wood sliding barn door opens up to a walk in pantry (which you can stock on the way in at the grocery store in Packwood), the granite counter tops and gas stove give cooks the space they need to prepare a truly grand spread, and a four stool island/breakfast bar is the perfect place to serve it. If it's a cold winters night, the cabin of course has heat (and a fireplace surrounded by cozy couches and topped by a large flatscreen TV), but the hot tub below the back deck is the place to go to really get warm and relaxed after a day on the White Pass slopes or hiking the many winding trails of Rainier National Park. And should you happen to be there on one of the 90 degree days that Packwood can experience in the summer, the manor is kept perfectly cooled by a heat pump system, not a common feature in the Pacific Northwest. Up to two dogs are welcome with our standard per dog, per night fee.
